S-STEM: Lehman College Mentoring and Scholarship Program

雷曼学院计算机科学和数学奖学金方案旨在留住数学和计算机相关领域中代表性不足的少数群体和妇女。该计划有四个关键部分：通过奖学金和设备提供资金；建议和指导；职业规划；以及建立学者社区。奖学金获得者在职业发展和职业规划方面得到支持，强调合作和沟通技能，以在工作场所取得成功。该方案培育了一个活跃的学习社区，其中包括已毕业并进入劳动力大军的奖学金获得者。该项目基于对STEM领域中代表性不足的少数群体的招聘和留住的研究。该项目鼓励妇女和代表性不足群体的成员完成计算机科学和数学专业，并加入STEM劳动力大军。该项目收集的数据将补充描述在STEM学位课程中招聘和留住妇女和少数族裔的成功方法的文献。

The Lehman College Computer Science and Mathematics Scholarship Program is designed to retain under-represented minorities and women in mathematics and computer-related fields. The program has four key components: funding through scholarships and equipment; advising and mentoring; career planning; and building a community of scholars. Scholarship recipients receive support for professional development and career planning which emphasizes collaboration and communication skills for success in the workplace. The program nurtures an active learning community which includes scholarship recipients who have graduated and entered the workforce.This project is based on research on the recruiting and retention of under-represented minorities in STEM fields. The project encourages women and members of under-represented groups to complete computer science and mathematics majors and to join the STEM workforce. Data collected by the project will add to the body of literature which describes successful approaches to recruiting and retaining women and minorities in STEM degree programs.
